If we don’t make the finals from here,with the run we have, it will be a massive failure.

What's with the pessimistic post riddles. We have won 6 from the past 8 and should of won all 8. Lost to swans and cats by a combined total of 9 points.
We are playing well and will still challenge for a top 4 berth, based on our run home.

Not in my personal opinion. You secure a base FIRST ie actually getting into the 8 first before worrying about loftier ambitions of finishing top 4 or whatever especially when you’ve lost or blown as many games as we have.

Right now we’re in a battle with a bunch of teams to just make the 8. We need those teams to lose, not win. St Kilda is one of them.
We're virtually no chance for the 4 if Fremantle win. Yes we're in a battle for the 8 and Carlton and Saints have tough draws remaining. Saints winning was good for us as we are only 1 game behind Blues with a much better percentage. That result just brought another team back down into the fight for the 8. Increases our chances imo as long as we win the ones we should.

Unreal it is.
It's hard to watch Graig.
Dacios holds the ball dead, prick calls a ball up.
Noble tries to take on the tackler, ball up
Crisp is caught trying to bust through a tackle ball bounces out his hands, play on.
I don't know why I'm upset I knee Collingwood would beat them.
Just wait till next week, the pricks will compensate GC in our game for tonight's efforts.
They cheated in the last 6-7 minutes to get Collingwood over the line.
You don't know what's happening behind closed doors, both Carlton & Collingwood are playing each week with 3 extra players, maybe the AFL need to clear there debt.

No the Saints win was bad for us. Hoping they will lose future games is just that - hoping. You don’t want more teams in the battle for the 8 with you. You want less !!!

Nah was just responding to a post that said we were a bottom 8 side but poster clarified they meant bottom part of top 8.

That said we are playing well but still losing games we should win. Out of our 6 losses this year I contend we should have won 5 of them at least. Even if we won 2 or 3 we would be in the top 4 now. I think top 8 is a stretch. Reckon we’d have to win every game and our record this year shows there is not much hope of that. We are bound to drop at least one of them.

Our best is very good; probably second only to Melbourne’s best. But the difference between now and 2017-2020 is that we struggle to maintain our best for longer than a half of footy and that is what is getting us beaten.

Deez v Cats GF at the moment.

Tigers shot themselves in the head for the second time this season last week and its looking likely they are going to reap what they sowed and handed 4 critical points to the Sooks, who then got the worlds greatest consolidation gift this week.

If that eventuates .......................

Either the Salties finally win (which I doubt) , or the Deez go back to back .................................................... talk about picking your poison.

No mate, saints losing was good for us. They won't make it, their run and dogs' run home is pretty tough. Our run home is the best of all teams hovering around the 8, then the pies. We are playing well. More teams above us losing helps us climb the ladder, and possibly snatch a place in the top 4.

Saints play in the final 7 games> Freo, dogs, cats, lions, Sydney
Dogs play in the final 7 games> Sydney, Saints, Dees, Cats, Freo

Just could not stand to see Salty’s smug head if they won a flag.

I'm hoping you'll like Jobe Watson's final 8 predictions ;)
